The center-back pairing of Cahill and Terry impressed, with expected starter David Luiz not featuring in the matchday squad.

Cahill had the most touches of all Chelsea defenders with 77, and Terry was able to win 100 percent of his aerial battles, which is a statistic that is a bit skewed because there were not that many all match.

On the left side of the back four, Cole had a quiet match with just 61 touches, which was the fourth-lowest of all Chelsea players.

Defensive Midfielders

Frank Lampard: 8; Ramires: 7.7

Lampard was the player who grabbed all of the headlines during the match, but his defensive midfield partner, Ramires, also had a very strong match in the shadows of the England international.

Lampard had a rough start to his day after his fifth-minute penalty was saved by Hull City keeper Allan McGregor.

Luckily for the Chelsea legend, he was able to make up for the penalty, and then some, with his stunning free-kick from 35 yards out in the 25th minute.

The 35-year-old also led the Blues in touches with 85, a total that was two more than the total of his Brazilian midfield partner. Ramires recorded 83 touches and had a near immaculate pass accuracy of 92 percent in the season opener.

There is no argument toward Lampard not getting the headlines, but whomever writes those headlines should be conscious of the fact that Ramires was the midfield engine that drove the Blues.

Hazard's presence in the midfield trio may have been the one that meant the most to Mourinho, and if Mata re-enters the squad next week, the 22-year-old Belgian's spot in the lineup should not be in danger.
